O.J. Simpson is shameless

The 10th anniversary of O.J. Simpson's aquittal on the double murder charges of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman is upon us. O.J. celebrated by selling 95 dollar autographs at "a Los Angeles area comic convention." I stuck that part in quotes in order to point out how ridiculously politically correct it was of this news source to skim over the fact that this was a blood and guts oozing horror comic book convention. When asked why O.J. was an invited guest of the event the co-promoter, Thomas Riccio, said,

Simpson was invited to the event because he is arguably the best football player who ever lived. He's a Heisman Trophy Winner, a former All American, an NFL M.V.P., and a Pro-Football Hall Of Famer."

Sure. That makes perfect sense. I'm going to go ahead and assume Thomas had his tongue firmly planted in cheek when he answered that question, and that means he's kinda funny. O.J. was signing autographs alongside the likes of "Jason" from Friday the 13th and "Gage", the evil toddler in Pet Sematary, so he may have been there on his never ending quest to "find the real murderer" not realizing he was the least fictional character in the place.
